Todd Siegel, Product Evangelist at Proto.io, talked about how learning how to build an app is a process that requires careful planning, with many things needing to be considered. Designing touchscreen apps ultimately demands prototypes that feel real. Despite this, when aiming for a gesture-driven app with interactive animation, we often couch our design thinking in static design tools. Shouldn't we base our explorations in an interactive animation tool? Proto.io serves as several visual prototyping tools in one. You can import comps to link into flows, and asset layers to animate. But you can also author assets in high enough fidelity on the fly, and customise native component libraries for iOS, watchOS and Material Design.

8. Agenda
Prototyping’s place in the product concept, design,
and development process
Live prototyping demo of a new product concept
using proto.io
Testing the prototype

9. A prototype is a
communication tool

11. De-risk ideas early in the
process before actual
development

13. Explore product and design
solutions with the fidelity
needed to validate
assumptions

14. Vision storyboarding of the narrative

15. Screen sketches on paper

16. Platform for designing & prototyping touch screen
apps, from quickly linking screens into flows to
creating prototypes that feel real - without coding.
Use your external designs or design right within
the tool using shapes, icons, and libraries of
native components for iOS and Android.

17. What if you could share
pictures of your bookshelf in a
feed with friends and be able
to play audible samples of
friend’s shared bookshelves to
discover books to listen to, or
read.
